Funnily I'm not really pissed that our kills would fail on MAGMAs we inspected early, and we'd need late game inspectors to be alive to have any chance ever offing them, that is par for the course.
As a SANDS I can't help but pity the ELECTROS immensely, being the hidden faction of the game completely outclassed by a better hidden faction. I care far less about being ineffective vs magmas than a faction that is in the long run pointless compared to another. Sorry for killin Archer, I thought it was Pblade.
As for Leadership decisions. I knew from my role PM that Desperation was a thing(though I think it was implying the mechanic a bit differently than it worked). As claims came in it became obvious we had no means to win on our own, so I went in with despair in mind, preferably with STARS which is why I was ok with them dying early at every turn. I however didn't expect the hidden faction could despair, so when ELECTROS did that plan fell through, as STARS were p much set to go next at that point, which is why I welcomed that huge overkill on them afterwards.
Also one of Josh and Pidge was never a one is SANDS kind of deal, what with Pidge and Pblade claiming the role name. I never trusted Josh, his behavior was completely anti SANDS at every turn, and I voiced the fact I'd never add him to the sheet unless everyone was dead. I blame myself for probably misunderstanding a lot of what TIK said, which made me peg him as some neutral, and it was unlucky that he got Dogged(though I approve of walrein going through with that).
I think the biggest mistake after a frankly GREAT anti MAGMA start we had(one was public, another one was in an alias MUDS knew), was letting them get away with too many failed kills and never questioning the flavour. The whole melting thing should have been kinda obvious in hindsight, but after ELECTROS I don't think many expected another hidden faction, and tensions were mainly between the villages and aquas which removed the chance of such mass communication ever happening.

UncleSam was the really an Anti SANDS Alliance convo, or was Agape yanking my chains? Also sorry for any criticism I had of yours.
